All Donkeys Go To Heaven...says Pope Francis

[Catherine]

Pope Francis is definitely opening thing ups. He is wanting to include people rather than exclude them. I think this is the essential message of Christianity. There is room for everyone. There is certainly room for the imperfect, which we all are.

When you think about dogs and what great creatures they are, they just might be the best people in heaven.

Nothing will happen suddenly, but new ideas will gradually work their way through the whole church. It would do a lot for animals if we see them as spiritual beings. It will clearly be wrong to treat animals the way we do. If change for the better happens in Catholic countries it will have an effect on other countries.

Pope Francis may go down in history as the greatest pope ever. He is a quiet unassuming man, but he always looks happy and he refuses to be caught up in the externals. He still manages to live humbly and simply like a real person. My favourite story is about the day after his election as pope. He went out by himself and paid his hotel bill. He knew they would never send a bill to the newly elected pope and he knew that they needed to be paid.
It fits that he believes that our animal friends will be in heaven with us.
